OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Friends and family mourned a 2-year-old boy who died after his mentally ill mother dropped him and his two brothers into San Francisco Bay.
It took only two men Saturday to carry the tiny coffin of Taronta Ray Greely Jr. into the sanctuary of True Vine Missionary Baptist Church.

Taronta's body was recovered after the alleged murders Oct. 19. Brothers Treyshun Harris, 6, and Joshoa Greeley, 16 months, are still missing and are presumed dead.
Lashuan Harris, 23, who has a history of mental problems, has pleaded not guilty to three murder charges with special circumstances, which could make her eligible for the death penalty, if convicted. Prosecutors said they have not decided whether to seek the death penalty.
Pastor Zachery Carey told mourners there was no way anyone could have known that Harris would kill her sons.
"You can live the rest of your life thinking that this is because of you," he said. I stopped by to tell you that God is in control. You could not have prevented anything."
